Re: I have a Raspberry Pi, how can I put it to use for mining?
Looking to build a mining rig using my Raspberry Pi. Did a quick search on the forum which showed a lot of different options- was hoping to get advice on a currently profitable mining build using a Pi and a FPGA or ASIC. I see a lot of people using the BFL Jalapeno- is that still a profitable investment at the time in relation to ROI? Probably going to use the MinePeon build
Why? your not going to make any significant profit if any at all.
He could just be doing it for the heck of it.
Not everything requires a profit you know...
You are correct- I am viewing Bitcoins right now as a hobby and for pure entertainment. That way I am not too committed to the system if it fails, and if it becomes popular- I will be ahead of the game.
New to Bitcoins and have found this site to be the easiest for free BTCs

There is an awesome list of "faucets and free Bitcoin sites" here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90718.0 but BitVisitor seems to be the easiest one to actually gain free BTCs. If anyone knows of any other great ones, definitely +1 them here

I just want to say HI and want to ask for some help with building my mining Rig 
My Setup for beginning:
ASRock MB-970EX4 w/ cheap AMD CPU
A bit of Ram like 4 or 8Gigabyte
2x or 3x ATI 7770 or something else.
Could someone say me if this would be profitable?
Cheers!
With the 7770s you would get around 250 Mh/s: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparisonMy Setup for beginning:

I would recommend a couple of ATI 7950s: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Mini-Displayport-PCI-Express-Graphic-GV-R795WF3-3GD/dp/B007581QHG
A couple- being two? Is the ROI worth it? (Noob question, not troll)
Re: I have a Raspberry Pi, how can I put it to use for mining?
Thanks for the replies fellas- def answered my question and I will do a bit more research. The whole mining thing looked too good to be true. Best to just stick with graphic card mining Im assuming and joining in on a pool?
Re: I have a Raspberry Pi, how can I put it to use for mining?
What you do is buy one of the USB asic devices (like the AsicMiner USB block eruptor) and plug it into your Raspberry Pi. Pis do have a USB port, right?
yep it has a usb port- but will probably need to be powered with a usb hub.
I guess what I was really asking is if it was still worthwhile to buy one of these USB bots and if so what is the best for ROI
Re: I have a Raspberry Pi, how can I put it to use for mining?
I think you're putting the cart before the horse.
Pretty much any computer can host a USB FPGA or ASIC miner, even a rooted Android device with an OTG cable and BFL's Android mining software.
The trouble is that as more and more ASICs are shipped and as difficulty skyrockets, FPGAs are rapidly becoming obsolete.
That leaves ASICs as the only practical solution and waiting lists are so long as to make them a questionable investment at today's prices if you have to wait until difficulty is in the hundreds of millions to get delivery.

So, it seems like you are telling me that it isn't even worth investing in any mining upgrades?

Confirmed .001 btc. Put my request in yesterday, received it today. Easiest btc ever.
I've got my finger on the send button in my wallet, and still no signature. 
It would be sweet to see some btc in my wallet- still waiting for mtgox to process my account :/
